A television set which eliminates a great degree of the screen curvature hence displaying less reflection, whether it features the CRT(cathode ray tube), plasma or LCD technology. 6, record 1, English, - flat%20screen%20television
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Strictly speaking, the term "flat panel television" is not synonymous with the term "flat screen television" since the latter can also be found on classical CRT (cathode ray tube) televisions. But both of the terms are commonly confused. 6, record 1, English, - flat%20screen%20television

Téléviseur du type à écran cathodique, à affichage à cristaux liquides ou à plasma dont l'écran, généralement de bonne dimension, n'a pas de courbure, limitant ainsi les reflets. 5, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9vision%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9cran%20plat

Au sens strict, le terme «téléviseur à panneau plat» n'est pas synonyme de «téléviseur à écran plat» puisque ce dernier se retrouve sur les appareils classiques de télévision à tube cathodique, mais il est compréhensible que l'on mélange les deux concepts. 5, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9vision%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9cran%20plat

Thus a standard CRT [cathode ray tube] TV is a direct view device, as is a plasma or LCD display. An RPTV [rear projection television] and a front projection system are not direct view since you are looking at an image projected onto a screen. 1, record 2, English, - direct%20view%20device
